definition of impulsivity

Impulsivity is that internal force that produces a lack of control of the person that as a result of that impulsiveness and the difficulties to manage those impulses, can get carried away by anger and say something that in reality, does not want to express, however, feels incapable to restrain that internal discomfort. In this sense, the person must become aware of this limitation in order to educate the character and manage in an assertive way situations that pose an internal conflict.

In a moment of impulsiveness, the person expresses a message without having reflected it calmly because its alteration disturbs his thinking (the mind-emotions connection is constant).

A character trait

This impulsiveness is a character trait that defines a person's temperament at different stages of their life, although the way it manifests may be different depending on age. An impulsive person feels overwhelmed by the emotion that springs up at that moment.

In this way, they are people who have difficulty cultivating patience and being prudent, therefore, many of their actions can take their toll because after having passed that emotion, when they are calm, they can calmly reflect on how they feel.

There are specific situations in which impulsive people have even more difficulty managing this emotional distress: when working under pressure, when suffering an attack of anger, when having to tolerate frustration in the face of a specific event, when experiencing the responsibility of making a decision importantly, when faced with anger in a couple argument ...

Consequences of impulsivity

What indication can indicate a person who tends to be impulsive? If you often find that you regret many of the decisions you have made after a short time after making that decision, then it is a sign that there is a certain lack of emotional coherence between what the person thinks and feels (between what you want and what you do).

There are important decisions that can be taken on impulse and that, however, should be evaluated and taken into account: for example, a person may break their courtship as a result of an impulse after an anger. This type of behavior when they become habitual can produce enormous instability in the lifestyle.
